Tattoo Artist · Engraving Illustrator · Author
Where ancient engraving techniques meet contemporary tattoo artistry, Juliano Trindade crafts work of striking visual impact—meticulously consecutive lines forming intricate imagery that resonates with mythology, mysticism, and the timeless traditions of gravure.
Origins in Art
Born on May 5, 1994, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Juliano Trindade grew up immersed in the arts, with both parents as artists. From an early age, he was captivated by mythology and folklore, forming a deep connection with his creative side that has continued to influence his work throughout his life.
Since 2013, Juliano has honed his craft as a tattoo artist, with his style evolving through influences of mysticism, romanticism, and traditional tattoo culture. Now based in Los Angeles, California, he continues to push the boundaries of his medium, creating work that bridges the worlds of fine art and body art.
The Art of the Line
Juliano's work is known for its strong visual impact, created through meticulously consecutive lines that form intricate imagery. Inspired by engraving techniques, he draws from methods used in gravure, where patterns are carved into surfaces such as wood, linoleum, copper, or zinc with fine metal-tipped tools.
This technique, combined with his thematic inspirations, gives his work a unique, timeless quality that resonates both in tattooing and as standalone art. Each piece carries the weight of classical printmaking traditions while remaining unmistakably contemporary.
Down to Heaven
Debut Fine Art Exhibition
In his debut fine art exhibition, Juliano presents a striking collection of charcoal works on paper that navigate the duality of life in Los Angeles. Through twelve deeply expressive pieces, he offers a mystical vision of the city's layered contrasts where grand dreams coexist with broken reality.
Having recently relocated to Los Angeles, Juliano has witnessed the city's complex spirit firsthand. People arrive with aspirations, seeking opportunity, yet there exists a simultaneous, often unseen narrative of struggle and hardship. Los Angeles reveals itself as both a place of vibrant ambition and a landscape marred by disparity.
Through his charcoal works, Juliano captures the collision of these dual realities—where optimism is tempered by adversity, and scenes of affluence stand alongside desperation. With raw honesty and an eye for detail, he has created a narrative that speaks to both the dreams people pursue and the challenges they face in the shadows.
Mythology & Mysticism
The themes that captivated Juliano as a child continue to pulse through his work. Mythology and folklore provide an endless wellspring of imagery—figures emerging from shadow, symbols layered with meaning, narratives that feel both ancient and immediate. His romanticism manifests not in sentimentality but in a commitment to emotional truth, to work that moves beyond the surface.
Traditional tattoo culture grounds his aesthetic in a rich history of symbolism and craft. Every line carries intention; every composition balances the bold with the delicate. Whether creating a full-scale charcoal piece or designing an intricate tattoo, Juliano approaches his work with the same meditative precision.
